Learning & Simulations
Stepping Into the Future
We build futures capabilities in your organization through hands-on learning—from courses that teach core foresight methods to strategic simulations that test leadership under pressure.
Our programs range from team training in signals scanning and scenario development to custom immersive experiences where participants navigate complex, evolving challenges like AI governance, climate disruption, or geopolitical instability.
Teams don't just learn about futures thinking—they develop applied skills for now, put their hands on slices of tomorrow, or practice making high-stakes decisions in realistic future conditions.
Programs run 1–3 days, from half-day intensives to multi-day capability building.
Learning offerings include:
How to Future workshops and intensives
Custom strategic simulations
Executive team learning experiences and expeditions
Organizational capacity building
Distributed online programs
Custom programs for frontier risk exploration
Delivery formats:
Half-day intensives for rapid skill introduction
Multi-day programs for comprehensive capability building
Online workshops for distributed teams
Custom studio courses for ongoing organizational development
Experimental formats tailored to complex, unconventional challenges
Expeditions for location-based immersions
Foom is our flagship simulation, built to help organizations rehearse uncertainty in AI governance. In Foom, five stakeholder teams share control over AI’s development over time, voting each round to push it on, regulate it, or stop it, while the world reacts to these decisions.
Foom has been run in public venues and inside organizations around the world, tuned each time around the sector and region of the people in the room. Foom is regularly updated to reflect the challenging issues of the day, and those emerging in near future.
Exploring Frontier Risks
Strategic simulations let teams engage complex, unpredictable environments in a setting that's safe but realistic — testing decisions under pressure against technological disruption, geopolitical shifts, or economic shocks, and surfacing the differences in how a group actually thinks.
Because each simulation is built for your context, participants practice navigating ambiguity, adversarial moves, and surprise in real time — developing the strategic agility, crisis communication, and cross-team collaboration that rigid long-term plans can't provide. As uncertainty deepens, especially around frontier risks, this is how leaders rehearse for it.
